The Third Door

The Mindset of Success

De: Alex Banayan

Narrado por: Alex Banayan

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • The larger-than-life journey of an 18-year-old college freshman who set out from his dorm room to track down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, and dozens more of the world’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.

“If you care about your success, you have to read The Third Door.”—Tony Robbins, entrepreneur, bestselling author, philanthropist, and the nation’s #1 life and business strategist

The Third Door takes readers on an unprecedented adventure—from hacking Warren Buffett’s shareholders meeting to chasing Larry King through a grocery store to celebrating in a nightclub with Lady Gaga—as Alex Banayan travels from icon to icon, decoding their success. After remarkable one-on-one interviews with Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, Jane Goodall, Larry King, Jessica Alba, Pitbull, Tim Ferriss, Quincy Jones, and many more, Alex discovered the one key they have in common: they all took the Third Door.

Life, business, success… it’s just like a nightclub. There are always three ways in. There’s the First Door: the main entrance, where ninety-nine percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always… the Third Door. It’s the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door a hundred times, climb over the dumpster, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen—there’s always a way in. Whether it’s how Bill Gates sold his first piece of software or how Steven Spielberg became the youngest studio director in Hollywood history, they all took the Third Door.

If you dream of learning under the wings of world-class mentors, achieving your biggest goals, or just transforming yourself into the person you always imagined you could be, The Third Door gives you the tools you need—so you can get what you want.

Highly Recommend

What a great book this was to listen to on my commutes to and from work. While I do not typically choose books of this nature, I was drawn to download The Third Door after hearing Alex on The Rich Roll podcast; and, I am so glad I did!

The story had me crying and laughing along and each chapter only seemed to get better than the last, which is impressive considering who all was interviewed along his journey. I can’t recommend it enough and hope you will gain as much from it as I have!

One book I recommend to abolutely everyone!

I loved the Third Door from the moment I started listening to it. I loved the fact that I actually got it as an audiobook rather than an actual book as it is so well narrated by the author himself. It is through his narration that you get a deeper attachment and connection to the story, that makes you want to root for Alex and his adventures.

I am going to get a print version of it next, just so I can really get into all the nuggets of knowledge and highlight and bookmark everything I found useful and applicable in my life.

Best Audio Book Ever!!!!

Oh wow!

I just finished the audio version of The Third Door and I’m crying, laughing and cheering for Alex as he told such page turning story.

More please. More books like these please 🙏🏼

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

My husband made me read it.....now I'm crying.

WOW. I took a less conventional way of making my life what it is, but I still consider my path the 2nd door....now I sit here in tears....pondering how I can sneak out the window to enter through a 3rd door. Take a chance and read this book....or listen...whatever....and I promise you will take something from it. I have a feeling everyone will take a different piece of his journey to heart and learn or possibly grow from it.

Greatest Book, Hands Down

Not many books out there will keep you actively listening the whole time. This book did it for me.

Recommended to me by a friend, I began to listen and realized just how fluid the storytelling was and how relatable Alex Banayan is.

Definitely one of my top recommendations now.

Brilliant, a good reminder!

Loved it. a good reminder that you are the one in charge of your life!

THE best book in my Audible library

The Third Door is a powerful illustration of how removing yourself from the “herd mentality” or status quo can pay huge dividends. There are so many lessons taught in this book. I dont know of anyone that wouldn’t benefit from it

this book change my life forevermore

I am beyond speechless I am amazed what An credible intelligent young man he is.
The whole entire audiobook I was crying at the same time I was laughing I never had this experience before it was amazing

Changed my life. Thank you Alex.

Let me start by saying that I read a lot of self-help books. It’s basically all I read. However this book… is so much more than that. This is my favorite book.
I was so moved and touched by it that I actually wrote the author a letter LOL Which I have NEVER done. It is the ultimate story of persistence.

Initially Alex had the idea to create a book interviewing the worlds most successful people… he thinks it’ll take him roughly 6 months to complete all these interviews. But in the end it takes him 7 YEARS! And this book is the story of how he did it… With the interviews interwoven.

It’s a beautiful story, very well told and incredibly personal. Perhaps I related to it so much because I am currently pursuing a very challenging career that requires a lot of persistence. I read this book at a very low point in my life where I was on the brink of giving up… But this book encouraged me not to.

I recommend this book to everyone I talk to. If you are currently pursuing a big dream, but have been experiencing setbacks and failures along the way and are feeling unmotivated to continue - READ THIS BOOK.

I enjoy listening to audios faster than most

I purchased Friday evening and finished it Sunday Morning. I loved the commitment, decision, transparency and honesty of the thoughts that trickled into into mind. The wisdom imparted has resonated in a way to ignitithe fire as it dwindled. thank you ❤️ I too am in a mission to empower kids specifically as well as other intrepreneurs looking to empower kids with me in our music education program.
